    Three For The Win by Keta Diablo

    Eli
    I’ve loved Hollis forever, it seems. I meant to tell her so many times but always chickened out. Then Stede rode into town on his big shiny motorcycle and saved my life. Hollis fell hard for him. I get that, what’s not to love about Stede? I watched and waited, hoped whatever they felt for one another would pass. It didn’t, and now Stede’s hot head has landed him in trouble…again.
    Hollis
    I should have known better than to fall for a bone-melting man like Stede Marrow. A man who hides everything about his past. I know Stede loves me and I know he loves Eli too, like a brother. Stede’s gone now and Eli’s here to pick up the pieces of my broken life.
    Stede
    I should have kept on riding after I saved Eli at the creek. But then I saw Hollis and forgot about that road up ahead. I wanted to tell her why I’m running and who I am. But I haven’t even told Eli. It’s safer that way. I said I’d never go back to that hick town, swore I’d forget about Hollis. I didn’t bank on her being so damn unforgettable.

    Her Gilded Prison by Beverley OakleyFree Read: Her Gilded Prison by Beverley Oakley #Historical #FreeBookFriday #RLFblog

    She was determined to secure the succession, he was in it for the pleasure. Falling in love was not part of the arrangement.
    When dashing twenty-five-year-old Stephen Cranbourne arrives at the estate he will one day inherit, it’s expected he will make a match with his beautiful second cousin, Araminta.
    But while proud, fiery Araminta and her shy, plain sister, Hetty, parade their very different charms before him, it’s their mother, Sybil, a lonely and discarded wife, who evokes first his sympathy and then stokes his lustful fires.
    As Stephen introduces Sybil to every pleasure she’s been deprived of, duty and passion become a deep and mutual love. But with the unexpected arrival of a contender to the estate, Sybil realises that what she’s set in motion to save the family might have tragic consequences.
    Her Gilded Prison is Book 1 in the Daughters of Sin series, a Regency-set ‘Dynasty’ that follows the sibling rivalry between Viscount Partington’s two nobly-born and his illegitimate daughters as they compete for love during a London Season. Her Gilded Prison can, however, be read as a stand-alone.

    Alien Mate by Cara BristolAlien Mate by Cara Bristol #SciFi #Romance #FreeBookFriday #RLFblog

    I’m Starr Elizabeth Conner. Earth’s government falsely convicted me of a crime, packed me on a ship with other female felons, and sent us to Dakon, a primitive, frozen wasteland of a planet.
    But I’m no barbarian’s ‘mail order bride,’ even if he is super tall, muscular, and the chief of his tribe. He doesn’t want a BBW blonde, either–it’s written all over his chiseled face. He’ll be truly angry if he ever learns what my ‘crime’ was.
    I am Torg. I have waited 34 rotations for a mate of my own. With this shipment, I was sure to get a fine, sturdy mate who’ll bear me many daughters. Instead, I receive a small, curvy, pale-haired female who looks at me with anger and fear.
    It is only when we ‘kiss’ that I believe things may work out between us. But I’m hearing rumors that Starr and her shipmates are law-breakers. To survive, Dakonians must obey all laws … or be exiled into the frozen wasteland. Just when I have found my mate, will I have to banish her?

    Mated to the Pack by Jade AltersMated to the Pack by Jade Alters #PNR #FreeBookFriday #RLFblog

    Vivian was thankful for everything her wealthy Aunt left her.
    Until she found out that also meant she’s now responsible for that old run down mansion she grew up playing in.
    She would keep it, but she would go bankrupt; she would sell it, but there’s no one out there to buy it.
    That’s when four super-hot and mysterious renters show up to save the day.
    They’ve got more big secrets than she can handle though, the biggest of which might be why she’s finding herself drawn to each of them.
    Call it nature.
    Call it instinct.
    Whatever it is, this pack has found its mate, and the only question is going to be whether Viv can handle being mated to this pack.

His customer is the shy girl from chemistry class, now a sensual woman with a sweet smile, though she still doesn’t say much. But what Mitch has in mind doesn’t involve a lot of talking.
    While Lotta struggles to bake all the sweets, Mitch becomes interested in nibbling more than just her cookies.

    Know the Heroine from Dropping Anchor in Naval Maneuvers by Dee S Knight @DeeSKnight #RLFblog #miitary #romanceDee S Knight, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! We’re excited to find out more about your heroine, but first, tell us about the book.

    Naval Maneuvers by Dee S Knight

    Genre erotic romance
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    Men and women of the armed forces experience desire and love pretty much like everyone else. Except, well, there is that uniform. And the hard-to-resist attraction of “duty, honor, service” as a man might apply them to a woman’s pleasure. All things considered, romance among the military is a pretty sexy, compelling force for which you’d better be armed, whether weighing anchor and moving forward into desire, dropping anchor and staying put for passion, or setting a course for renewed love with anchor home.
    Know the Heroine from Dropping Anchor in Naval Maneuvers
    Here are some fun questions to help us know your heroine.
    It’s late, she’s bored. What does she do?
    Plays MENSA games on her phone. The girl is gorgeous, but she’s no dummy.
    What kind of food would she impulse buy if hungry?
    Carie isn’t much of a junk food girl. She’d pick up an apple and skip the chocolate.
    Describe the kind of clothes she prefers to wear.
    A uniform when working—she’s a JAG officer—and loose fitting casual clothes when she’s relaxing. Of course, nothing is best when she’s with her sweetie, Todd Baxter.
    Does she know how to fix things?
    She knows how to fix coffee, and she knows how to make reservations. Anything else, she hopes she marries well.
    She tried to do something and it went badly. Tell us about it.
    She tried to surprise Todd by dropping in on him without notice. She was the one surprised, and not in a happy way.
    How does she act around children she doesn’t know?
    Carie is not a child person. She keeps her distance when around children she doesn’t know. But since falling in love with Todd, she can finally see children in her future.
    What is she like first thing in the morning?
    So ready for action if Todd wakes her up. Otherwise, she’s one of those people who annoyingly wakes up with a sunny attitude and keeps it all day. That doesn’t mean that she doesn’t turn into a shark when she’s handling a trial. The only thing she likes better than being with Todd is winning her cases.
    Can she use chopsticks?
    She can but wonders why she should. It was fun when she was going out with college pals, but now, what’s the point? Food takes just as good using a fork.
    Does she drink coffee? If so, how does she take it? If not, what does she drink instead?
    Coffee? You mean life’s blood? Yes!! She drinks it often and she drinks it Navy strong!
    What apps would she have on her phone?
    The aforementioned MENSA games, Kindle, the Weather app, Google and Google maps, and email so she can stay in touch with the office. Carie prefers to interact with people rather than her phone, so she really only uses it when she has to or there is absolutely nothing else to do.
    Android or iPhone?
    iPhone
    Earrings or unpierced ears?
    Earrings, even though while in uniform they have to be posts and demure.
    Tattoos or unadorned skin?
    She has an intriguing tattoo of a dragon on her lower back, the result of a game she played in college. Todd is especially interested in finding out about her dragon.
    Personal vehicle or public transport?
    She doesn’t mind public transportation but usually her job requires her to be flexible in getting around so she drives herself.
    Recycle or toss?
    Definitely recycle. She’s responsible and civic-minded.
    Thanks for helping us get to know your heroine!

    The Showers by Adam Mann @AdamMannAuthor #Romance #RLFblogAdam Mann, welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about your book.

    The Showers by Adam Mann

    Genre Erotic Romance
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    Published by Global Publishing Group LLC.
    Bill Harrison meets Helen Roberts, a lovely farmer’s ex-wife at a farmhouse in the West Yorkshire Dales, as he guides a group of guests on a Fell Pony trekking holiday. Helen decides to take the lead and actually joins Bill in the shower! He soon finds himself helping out on more than a holiday romance, but also assisting some of the guests looking for ancestors in the local church registry; a young student couple running into their own romantic problems; and Amanda, her teenage daughter, who wants to learn to drive.
    In the midst of all this Helen’s belligerent former husband Harry, suddenly turns up who had abandoned her nearly twenty years earlier. Harry Townsend is being pursued by the local constabulary on a murder enquiry, and might have been looking for a place to hide out. He reluctantly accepts a small cash handout from Bill.
    Helen finds that some elements of the local society have a memory longer than the twenty years since she divorced Harry for desertion, and the most spiteful can even remember his name.
    The police catch Harry; Bill and Helen overcome local spite and gossip, and they live happily ever after – so get your tissues out!
    This book is sexually explicit and is designed for adults and the over 18’s.

    Is It True: Marriage, Mobsters, and the Marine by Kryssie Fortune @KryssieFortune #RLFblog #Contempory #romanceWelcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Let’s play Is It True with today’s guest, Kryssie Fortune, author of Marriage, Mobsters, and the Marine, a contemporary, erotic romance. This is a game with yes and no questions. Writers can elaborate on answers as much as they choose.

    Marriage, Mobsters and the Marine) by Kryssie Fortune

    Genre Contemporary, erotic romance

    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R

    Abigail Montgomery, a small-town schoolteacher with zero self-confidence, longs for the loving family she never had.
    Each month she attends a masked BDSM club, but her next visit will be her last. If she doesn’t marry within the next year, her military brother won’t inherit Montgomery Hall. Desperate, she advertises for a husband.
    Jared Armstrong, a former Marine sharpshooter and occasional Dom, needs $125,000 to get his family out of a hole. His solution – to marry Abigail Montgomery for her money. His only regret is his wife won’t accept his spanking lifestyle.
    Soon, Abigail dreams of making their marriage real, but she promised Jared a divorce two-years after their wedding. Can they share some Christmas magic as their relationship faces extortion threats, a kidnapping, and an attempted murder? Or will Jared walk away and break her heart?

    Is it true:

    this is your first book?
    No. My first book is a paranormal romance, To Wed a Werewolf. That led to a series full of hot werewolves, sexy vampires, and one cursed Fae who rides a dragon
    this book is part of a series?
    Yes. Marriage Mobsters and the Marine is the first novella in my Heroes of Westhorpe Ridge series. Each one features a former military man finding love in the small North Carolina town of Westhorpe Ridge. Although there are recurring characters, each book can be read as a standalone romance.
    you lost sleep while writing this book?
    Yes. My main publisher has shut its doors, but before they did, they put out requests for three linked stories.
    I’m the sort of girl who’s always late to the party. I couldn’t think of anything that met their full criteria. Then, six weeks before the submission deadline, I had three stories in my head. I’ve never written so fast or burned so much midnight oil.
    The fourth book in the series is a full-length novel, and I took my time over that.
    you did research for this book?
    Yes. I knew nothing about the American military and very little about North Carolina – except that it has a history of pirates. (That really mattered in the third book of the series – Desire, Deceit, and the Doctor.) Plus it has a beautiful coastline. Since Sean, the hero of Sex, Scandal and the Sheriff is a former navy Seal I needed that.
    Fortunately, I have lots of Facebook friends in North Carolina who didn’t mind me hounding them with questions. I did worry I’d get American agents hammering on my door when I started researching military bases in North Carolina, though.
    some characters in this book are not human? (pets for example)
    There’s Duffy, Sean’s dog. He’s a collie and crops up in the first three books. He’s important in Desire Deceit and the Doctor since he helps save a child who had fallen over a cliff.
    this book has more than one genre?
    Yes. I like my stories to feature more than just scorching hot sex. Each book is an adventure and romance.
    you speak more than one language?
    Yes, badly. I learned French in school and can make myself understood in France if I have to. I prefer to point and smile, though.
    you grew up where you live now?
    No. I grew up in a housing estate in Leeds, West Yorkshire. There was plenty of green space and loads of trees to climb. I stayed in Leeds until I retired then moved to the Yorkshire Coast. A few of my paranormal romances start in Whitby or Scarborough, close to my new home.
    you love to read?
    Yes. I’d get withdrawal symptoms if I didn’t have a fully loaded kindle.
    you are never late?
    No, not if I can help it.
    you love pizza?
    Yes, as long as it’s homemade. I love breadmaking, and pizza base is a doddle. Then we get creative with the toppings.
    you love sushi?
    No. I don’t mind vegetable sushi, but the thought of raw fish – other than smoked salmon – turns my stomach.
    you have a pet?
    No, but I’d like one. I a Welsh Terrier as child. He looked like a teddy bear on legs, but he was as fierce as he was small (14 inches). When the kids were little we had cats, and I’d have another now, but we shoot off to babysit grandkids on a monthly basis. It’s not fair on the animal to constantly put it in kennels.

    Where to buy Marriage, Mobsters and the Marine

    Amazon www.amazon.com/Marriage-Mobsters-Marine-Heroes-Westhorpe-ebook/dp/B07DYZPF4C/
    Or read for free on Kindle Unlimited.

    Kryssie Fortune Social Media

    Kryssie Fortune writes the sort of hot sexy books she loves to read. If she can sneak a dragon into her paranormal books she will. Her paranormal heroes are muscular werewolves, arrogant Fae, or BDSM loving dragons.
    Kryssie likes her contemporary heroes ex-military and dominant. Her heroines are kick ass females who can hold their own against whatever life – or Kryssie – throws at them.
    Kryssie’s pet hates are unhappy endings, and a series that end on a cliff hanger.
    Her books are all standalone even when part of series. Plot always comes before sex, but when her heroines and heroes get together, the sex is explosive and explicit. One review called it downright sensual.

    Cancer. The terminal diagnosis paralyzes Catriona. Both saved and imperiled, she must navigate a new, immortal life as mate to the Captain of the Seelie Palace Guard.
    In obedience to the oracle’s command, Thelan abducts a human woman and takes her to the Deepwood where she is unmade and remade by ancient magic. Thus given his mate, he quickly finds himself enamored of her spirit, intelligence, and uncommon beauty. She arouses his passion and challenges both his control and authority at every turn. Thelan needs to win the heart and trust of this untraditional female whom he’s determined to keep and protect from those who covet control over the moon-born’s legendary influence.

Forging her own path and upsetting ancient tradition, she befriends the mysterious archivist, learns to live in a sentient palace, talks to dragons, and discovers a puzzling attraction to cats. And she must come to terms with the handsome and powerful fae male who claims her as his own and stirs her blood like none other.

Welcome to Romance Lives Forever. I’m Kayelle Allen, author and owner of this blog. Happy to have you here! Please tell us about the story your author wrote.

    Naval Maneuvers

    Genre Erotic romance
    Book heat level (based on movie ratings): R
    Men and women of the armed forces experience desire and love pretty much like everyone else. Except, well, there is that uniform. And the hard-to-resist attraction of “duty, honor, service” as a man might apply them to a woman’s pleasure. All things considered, romance among the military is a pretty sexy, compelling force for which you’d better be armed.
    Weighing Anchor (allowing a ship to move forward by retrieving the anchor): A professional woman sworn to avoiding all things military finds herself in love with a lieutenant commander in the Navy. Love won’t conquer all if she allows her childhood memories to eclipse future happiness.
    Dropping Anchor (securing movement by dropping the anchor): Two people find (surprisingly) that they are both in the Navy and love their chosen professions–until one turns out to be an officer but not a gentleman and the other is a gentleman but not an officer.
    Anchor Home (safe, smooth sailing): When two former lovers find each other after more than a decade, will a long-hidden secret threaten the course of a rekindled romance or be the cause of it?

    Age: 38
    Gender: Male
    Birthplace: Asheville, NC
    Profession: Super Chief in the U.S. Navy
    Ethnicity: Caucasian
    What do you look like?
    Dark gray eyes, over six feet tall, pretty strong physique, but not bulked up, auburn hair that’s showing a little silver now, usually kept military short, clean-shaven. And, uh, I’ve been told I have a pretty great package. Not that I’d say so myself… ;)
    Who is the significant other in your life?
    Lieutenant Commander Carissa Walker, U.S.N.
    How do you dress?
    During work I’m in uniform–usually khaki shirt and trousers, shined shoes, garrison cap (wide black brim with flat top). Off duty, I’m a beach guy, in jeans and tee shirts, loafers or sneakers.
    Are any of your skills a source of pride or embarrassment, and if so, which ones and why?
    I’m a great mechanic and my degrees in engineering help me know the best paths to take to solve problems that arise in the boiler room, where I work. I don’t take pride in these skills exactly, but I’m happy I have them because they make me the best Super Chief I can be, both for the Navy and for my men. It’s all about them.
    Are you close to family?
    I love my family, though I don’t get home to Carolina to see them often. My brother was ten years older than I, so he amusingly tolerated me and I hero-worshipped him. My sister, who lives in Norfolk where I’m stationed now, is more an annoyance than friend but only because she thinks I need her to run my life. I grew up knowing I was loved, with two parents who are still married and who allowed me to be a boy and get into scrapes while being there to help me out. I was lucky.
    If someone from your past showed up, who would you most want it to be, and why?
    My brother. He’s the reason I joined the Navy, a life that gave me every satisfaction a man could dream of–until Carie came along, of course. My brother was a chief in the Navy. I wanted to honor his memory by becoming one, too. I’ve missed him every day he’s been gone.
    What would help you face hardship and meet any challenge?
    There are a lot of things, actually. First, education. That provides the foundation for most challenges at work. Then, as greatly, training. The Navy has invested a lot of time and money in training me to respond quickly and correctly to problems. Support of my men and superiors keeps me steady, and my desire to serve them, the Navy, and America keeps me going when I might want to stop. And lastly, Carie’s love. It sounds sappy, but I’d go through fire for her and any children that might be in our future. Keeping her love and showing her love is the challenge I will always strive to meet. *laughing* Does that make me a wuss? Yeah, I guess, but that’s okay.
    If you could make any one thing happen, what would it be?
    At the risk of sounding like a Miss America candidate, peace. Some people might think that the military are a bunch of war mongers, but hell, who do they think has to go and fight wars? The people who fight are the ones least likely to want unrest. I’d love for the day to come when people go to sea to sail around and have fun rather than go as a symbol of power. However, as long as there is no overriding peace, the U.S. Navy will protect and serve. Count on it.
